More Insights
Built in 1960 (66 years old).
Condition: Built in 1960 and maintained by the same owner for 50 years, this property exhibits significant signs of age and requires substantial rehabilitation. The kitchen features very dated white cabinets, laminate countertops, older appliances (except possibly the refrigerator), and linoleum flooring, necessitating a complete overhaul. All bathrooms are similarly outdated with original-style vanities, fixtures, and lighting. While structurally sound and 'lovingly maintained,' the interior finishes, flooring (worn carpet, dated linoleum/tile), and systems appear to be from 30-50+ years ago, requiring extensive modernization to meet current standards. The property's 'enormous potential' and high price point imply a buyer will need to invest significantly in updates.
